Treadmill Workouts – 2

I did one of these work outs this morning – #1, speed demon.

I probably don’t do the slow jogging at a slow enough pace   And I shortened the warm-up / cool-down since I had to do 5 miles (and this could easily cover 6 miles for me).

Here’s the set:

6 min warm-up

3 min at a faster pace (I picked 6.4 mph)

3 min at a slower pace (I picked 6.2 – according to the plan, it probably could have been slower)

Repeat this 2 more times.

5 minutes of easy jogging.

A second set of 3 minutes fast/3 minutes slow – 3 times.

Cool down.

Again, I loved this.  It was easier than the last time I did it – maybe I really am building up long endurance.  (I also think I had decided I was going to have a good run this morning, even though I was really tired, and I did have a good run.  Mind over matter…)  I can do anything for 3 minutes, which I did.  And it helped the time go by.  And I sweated!  Love that sweat…
